Select Board launches community survey to gauge public opinions on options

The Southborough PreK-8 School Building Committee is actively engaging the community to gather feedback on potential school building options through a recently launched survey. The Select Board initiated this survey to assess public opinions and identify any concerns that may arise regarding the proposed plans. The survey is designed to be anonymous, fostering honest participation from residents.

Committee members discussed the survey's timeline, noting it will remain open until approximately August 18, allowing for a three-week data collection period. While specific participation numbers were not available during the meeting, committee members expressed optimism about gathering substantial feedback to inform future discussions.

In addition to the survey, the committee reviewed updates on a collaborative document that outlines educational goals and standards for the school project. This document is intended to guide decision-making while ensuring that the process remains factual and unbiased. Committee members emphasized the importance of transparency and accessibility, with plans to share the document publicly after the meeting.

As the committee continues its work, it aims to keep the community informed and involved in the decision-making process. The next meeting will likely include a discussion of the survey results and further steps based on community feedback. This proactive approach underscores the committee's commitment to aligning school building plans with the needs and expectations of Southborough residents.
